Gospel of Luke_Chapter 21

Jesus looked up and saw the rich man casting his donation into the treasury.

I saw another poor widow who invested two small coins.

Let me tell you the truth. This poor widow has invested more than anyone else.

Because everyone had their own surplus and put it into the donation. But this widow is inadequate and has invested all her health benefits in it.

Some people talk about the temple, which is decorated with beautiful stones and offerings.

Jesus said, Regarding all these things that you have seen, the days will come, and there will be no stone left on it here that will not be broken down.

They asked him, Master, when will this happen? What are the signs when this matter is about to come?

Jesus said, Be careful not to be deceived, for many will come in my name, saying, I am Christ, and saying, The time is near, do not follow them.

Do not be alarmed when you hear of war and disturbance, for these things must come first, but the end cannot come immediately.

At that time, Jesus said to them, “The people will attack the people, and the kingdom will attack the kingdom.”.

The earth will shake greatly, and there will be famine and plague in many places. And there are terrible visions and great miracles appearing from heaven.

But before all this, they will lay hands on you, persecute you, hand you over to the synagogue, and put you in prison, and bring you before the kings and princes for my name’s sake.

But these things will eventually be your witnesses.

So you should set your mind and not think in advance about how to plead.

For I will give you eloquence and wisdom, which all your enemies cannot resist or refute.

Even your parents, brothers, relatives, and friends will hand you over to officials. You have also been killed by them.

You will be hated by all for my name’s sake.

However, not a single strand of your hair will be damaged.

If you continue to endure, you will preserve your soul. Or work to gain life

When you see Jerusalem surrounded by soldiers, you will know that the days of its desolation are approaching.

At that time, those in Judea should flee to the mountains. Those in the city should come out. In the countryside, don’t go to the city.

Because this is the day of retribution, so that all that is written in the scriptures may be fulfilled.

Woe to those who are pregnant and breastfeeding in those days. For a great disaster will come upon this place, and wrath will come upon this people.

They will fall by the sword and be taken captive to various countries, and Jerusalem will be trampled down by the Gentiles until their time is fulfilled.

The sun, moon, and stars will show abnormal signs. The nations on earth also suffer. Due to the sound of waves in the sea, one becomes panicked and restless.

The heavens will shake. People are scared out of their wits when they think of what is about to come to the world.

At that time, they will see the Son of Man, with power and great glory, descending in a cloud.

As soon as these things happen, you should stand up and hold your heads high. Because the day of your redemption is approaching.

Jesus also prophesied to them, saying, Look at the fig tree and all kinds of trees.

When he sprouts, you naturally know that summer is approaching when you see it.

In this way, when you see these things gradually coming to an end, you should also know that the kingdom of God is approaching.

I tell you the truth, this generation has not yet passed away, and all these things will be accomplished.

Heaven and earth will be wasted, but my words cannot be wasted.

Be careful not to let greed, drunkenness, and the contemplation of this life burden your hearts, and that day will suddenly come upon you like a net.

Because that day will come to all the inhabitants of the earth in this way.

Be vigilant at all times and pray constantly, so that you may escape from all these things that are about to come and stand before the Son of Man.

Jesus teaches daily in the temple and stays overnight at a mountain called Mount Olive.

All the people came to Jesus in the morning from the temple to hear him preach.
